    The length of the rods will be two long. Take a look at how much had to be cut off of the tower brace that one of the members modified to work on the Maverick. If I remember right he had to remove about two inches from a 69/70 shock tower brace in order to make it work. Also the bolt holes will not line up.

    Another point is the lip that the brace mounts to has much more of a curve on our Mavericks/Comets than on the Mustangs.

    Best bet is to build a custom set for your car. And then offer to make more sets for sale to cover your costs. :evilsmile

    Merry Christmas

    Nope. The rods are too long. You can cut them down but you will need to rethread the ends. The brace that goes across the firewal pinch weld will not line up either. Either the firewall or brace will have to be modified. Read this thread and it will show you the difference between the Maverick & mustang.
